falken ziex sucks bllas!

I need to replace all my tires on a sat and noone had my size but one shop had Ziex in stock so I said fawk it and payed for them and went on my way.


uuuummm yeeaah....they suck balls. Screech like a mofo on hard ass turn. I miss Azenis like my GSR had. Hell, even OEM dunlops performed better.

I would of held off and got Azenis like I've had on other cars but they didnt have em in stock and I didnt wanna wait so I settled for these. They aren't superbad but I guess at the end they are all season tires if I remember. I'm just glad I got rod of th old tires with MAJOR camber wear. The freaking insude guts were showing :scared:

I had the older model Ziex 512's on my EM2 Civic. They worked well for me. Of course the tires that the EM2 had were hard like plastic Big-Wheel wheels. I couldn't get any traction with the stockies on that car.
OEM Fit tires are not great either. My wife's sport Fit has the OEM Dunlops. They're loud on the freeway. I haven't tried to hit too many fast corners in her car, so I don't know about the traction. But on my base Fit, the OEM 14's are awful. They're not as loud, but the traction is terrible. Luckily new wheels and tires in my future.
